DIRECTLY ADJACENT TO PUBLIC LAND

Set within a rolling mountain meadow framed by Douglas firs and aspen groves, this Berlin Architects-designed home is tucked away at the southern end of Jackson Hole’s sought-after West Bank. The setting evokes a quieter era of the valley, while the home itself offers a refined and architecturally significant living experience. Spanning 4,132 habitable square feet across two levels, the residence includes five bedrooms and five bathrooms, with abundant windows that draw in natural light and create a strong connection to the surrounding landscape. An open-concept living and dining area anchors the home, complemented by a private office or study and a wine cellar. Multiple deck and patio spaces extend the living areas outdoors, while a three-car garage provides ample space for vehicles, gear, and the everyday needs of a lifestyle rooted in the outdoors.

TOP 10 TAX BENEFITS

OF WYOMING RESIDENCY

There are numerous reasons why those who live in Teton County, WY have chosen to have their primary residences here. Some of those reasons are emotional, such as the sheer beauty of the natural surroundings and the overall quality of life. Other reasons are more practical in scope and include Wyoming’s tax benefits when compared to all other states.

For years, Bloomberg has rated Wyoming as the most tax-friendly state in the United States. Here are the ten top tax benefits offered by Brian Jones, formerly a wealth management associate at J. Singleton Financial.

NO TAX ON THE SALE OF REAL ESTATE. 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10

NO STATE INCOME TAX: With no state tax on personal or corporate income, “you have more disposable income,” Jones says.

NO INHERITANCE TAX OR ESTATE TAX : “Wyoming repealed its estate tax as of January 1, 2005,” Jones says.

DYNASTY TRUSTS: In Wyoming, you can shield your real estate from federal estate taxes for up to 1,000 years through a dynasty trust. Multiple generations can make use of and enjoy the property, without having to pay estate taxes or worse, having to sell the property to pay the taxes. A key point to remember: The trust must be administered in Wyoming.

NO STATE GIFT TAX: “Somebody who owns property in Wyoming can ‘gift’ that real estate to their heirs without having to worry about paying a state gift tax,” Jones says.

NO TAX ON OUT-OF-STATE RETIREMENT INCOME: “A lot of people in Jackson Hole use Wyoming as a second home,” Jones says. “They have retirement income that comes from other states where they may be a resident. Wyoming doesn’t tax that retirement income that’s earned outside of Wyoming, which is certainly beneficial.”

LOW PROPERTY TAXES: “Wyoming has very low property taxes compared to other states,” Jones says. “The taxes that you do pay here are based on the assessed value of the property.”

NO EXCISE TAXES: When you fill-up your car or buy groceries in Wyoming, you won’t pay any state tax on either.

NO TAX ON MINERAL OWNERSHIP: “A lot of states charge owners a tax on their mineral ownership, but Wyoming does not,” Jones says. “If you own minerals, you won’t pay a tax on it like you would your home”.

NO INTANGIBLE TAXES: Wyoming doesn’t make you pay a tax on financial assets like stocks and bonds.
